Book Synopsis The Proactive Twelve Steps for Mindful Recovery by : Serge Prengel
Download or read book The Proactive Twelve Steps for Mindful Recovery written by Serge Prengel and published by Proactive Change. This book was released on 2010-12-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proactive Twelve Steps are adaptation of the original Twelve Steps that describe the "steps" as a self-directed process-as opposed to a mystical process in which change somehow happens to you. They outline how you can take a proactive role in your growth as a person. These steps were originally written for people who are not part of the "Twelve Steps" culture, and who are not comfortable with references to God or a Higher Power. Over time, many people involved in 12 steps recovery have found inspiration in these "proactive steps": Not necessarily as a replacement for the words they are so familiar with, but as a way to gain a new perspective on them.
Book Synopsis Powerfully Recovered! by : Anne Wayman
Download or read book Powerfully Recovered! written by Anne Wayman and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 1998-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground breaking book, Anne Wayman, clean and sober for almost 25 years and with multiple works published by Hazelden, explores two myths that grown up in the 12 Step movement: never-ending recovery, and perpetual powerlessness. Convinced that the 12 Steps offer the best chance for lasting recovery, she challenges the movement to acknowledge the fear behind the myths, and let them go so that the Program can reach its full potential. Working from original source material, she explains the nature and development of the myths. She documents the damage they do to individuals and the movement as a whole, including its relative failure in areas of poverty where it is most needed. With true compassion and understanding she shows exactly what 12 Steppers need to do to let go of the myths, and become Powerfully Recovered, as the original Program intended. "It's about time!" Bruce K. "Powerfully Recovered! has helped me articulate something I've been feeling for years." Kathy B. "This book makes a powerful and positive difference for anyone in any 12 Step Program."

Book Synopsis Eating Disorders Anonymous by : Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA)
Download or read book Eating Disorders Anonymous written by Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA) and published by GŸrze Books. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating Disorders Anonymous: The Story of How We Recovered from Our Eating Disorders presents the accumulated experience, strength, and hope of many who have followed a Twelve-Step approach to recover from their eating disorders. Eating Disorders Anonymous (EDA), founded by sober members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), have produced a work that emulates the “Big Book” in style and substance. EDA respects the pioneering work of AA while expanding its Twelve-Step message of hope to include those who are religious or seek a spiritual solution, and for those who are not and may be more comfortable substituting “higher purpose” for the traditional “Higher Power.” Further, the EDA approach embraces the development and maintenance of balance and perspective, rather than abstinence, as the goal of recovery. Initial chapters provide clear directions on how to establish a foothold in recovery by offering one of the founder’s story of hope, and collective voices tell why EDA is suitable for readers with any type of problem eating, including: anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, emotional eating, and orthorexia. The text then explains how to use the Twelve Steps to develop a durable and resilient way of thinking and acting that is free of eating disordered thoughts and behaviors, including how to pay it forward so that others might have hope of recovery. In the second half of the text, individual contributors share their experiences, describing what it was like to have an eating disorder, what happened that enabled them to make a start in recovery, and what it is like to be in recovery. Like the “Big Book,” these stories are in three sections: Pioneers of EDA, They Stopped in Time, and They Lost Nearly All. Readers using the Twelve Steps to recover from other issues will find the process consistent and reinforcing of their experiences, yet the EDA approach offers novel ideas and specific guidance for those struggling with food, weight and body image issues. Letters of support from three, highly-regarded medical professionals and two, well-known recovery advocates offer reassurance that EDA’s approach is consistent with that supported by medical research and standards in the field of eating disorders treatment. Intended as standard reading for members who participate in EDA groups throughout the world, this book is accessible and appropriate for anyone who wants to recover from an eating disorder or from issues related to food, weight, and body image.

Book excerpt: In The Power of the Actor, a Los Angeles Times bestseller, premier acting teacher and coach Ivana Chubbuck reveals her cutting-edge technique, which has launched some of the most successful acting careers in Hollywood. The first book from the instructor who has taught Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt, Elisabeth Shue, Djimon Hounsou, and Halle Berry, The Power of the Actor guides you to dynamic and effective results. For many of today’s major talents, the Chubbuck Technique is the leading edge of acting for the twenty-first century. Ivana Chubbuck has developed a curriculum that takes the theories of the acting masters, such as Stanislavski, Meisner, and Hagen, to the next step by utilizing inner pain and emotions, not as an end in itself, but rather as a way to drive and win a goal. In addition to the powerful twelve-step process, the book takes well-known scripts, both classic and contemporary, and demonstrates how to precisely apply Chubbuck’s script-analysis process. The Power of the Actor is filled with fascinating and inspiring behind-the-scenes accounts of how noted actors have mastered their craft and have accomplished success in such a difficult and competitive field.

Book Synopsis We're Not All Egomaniacs by : Beth Aich
Download or read book We're Not All Egomaniacs written by Beth Aich and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people come to Alcoholics Anonymous feeling terrible about themselves and are told, bewilderingly, that their problem is too much ego and a lack of humility. Bill W., who wrote most of the AA literature, described himself as an egomaniac. He put his own needs and wants ahead of others, was grandiose, felt entitled, and thought he was all-powerful. He called this the alcoholic personality type, and designed a program to crush the ego as the foundation of sobriety. It worked for him and millions of other alcoholics like him, and he deserves great credit. But what about alcoholics who normally put others' needs before their own and see themselves as less-than, unentitled, not enough, defective, impostors, losers? Their egos need building, not deflating. This book reframes the Twelve Step program so people with low self-esteem can grow to feel better rather than worse about themselves. Each Step includes exercises to build and strengthen the person's sense of self, to grow from a place of feeling unlovable into a strong sober person, no longer dependent on alcohol or external validation to feel good. This groundbreaking book opens the door for people who feel less-than to find a comfortable sobriety in AA, rather than trying to force themselves into Bill's shoes when they just don't fit.

Book Synopsis The Practical 12 Steps by : Jeffrey Munn
Download or read book The Practical 12 Steps written by Jeffrey Munn and published by Jeffrey Munn. This book was released on 2018-11-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is belief in God or the supernatural the only way to get clean and sober? Is our only hope of abstaining from self-destructive and compulsive behavior to take a leap of faith and place all of our trust in something that we can't see, hear, or touch? If you're looking for another way, now there is one. The Practical 12 Steps is a modern, non-religious approach to the 12 steps that is based in clinical psychology and down-to-earth principles of personal growth. Developed by psychotherapist Jeffrey Munn, The Practical 12 Steps is an alternative to the traditional steps that is tailored for atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and anyone who wants a more grounded approach to recovery from the self-destructive cycle of addiction and compulsive behaviors. These steps are designed to work for individuals attending either traditional or secular 12-step meetings, as well as for people who are not currently attending meetings at all. Jeffrey Munn is a psychotherapist who has been in recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism for over a decade. He has worked professionally with clients struggling with addiction and other compulsive behaviors for nine years. His rational, no-nonsense approach to the 12 steps is a refreshing change from the dated approach that was developed in 1935. At last, there's a path to recovery for the rest of us.
